it says "destination folder acccess denied"
its under the user guest but when I log on to my admistrator profile..its not located in the gadget folder -
anyone please?
-
Where is the gadget folder? Is it under \Users\Guest?
EDIT: Oh, I see, it's under \Program Files, right? Well, make sure it's set (in the admin account) to view hidden and system files (Organize > Folder and Search Options > View > ...) -
I didn't realize you could access folder options from the Organize button! I always used alt>tools>folder options.
Thanks for enlightening me

thanks swarmer.. I just did a restore piont (make use of it since it takes so much space on my HD) , and its good as new
at least now I know what to do next time -
LOL that's ok, I didn't know about the menu that comes up when you hit the Alt key.
It looks like basically the same menu options though, just organized differently.
